Best of Brian Aldiss

The list author says:
	"Nightmarish vision of the development of man, in symbiosis with a thinking fungus."

The list author says:
	"Fast-paced exploration of the Matrix-like world in which we live."

The list author says:
	"A masterpiece - even its flaws as a story emphasise its dream-like sense of real meaning in that which is hidden from us in Deep Time. Fundamental importance of the individual is stressed throughout."

The list author says:
	"Story of rock n' roll Siamese twins."

The list author says:
	"Heartfelt story of loss and selfishness."

The list author says:
	"Essays on science and life: the first essay is noteworthy in that it deals with 1960s pre-WWW internet."

The list author says:
	"Cosy English catastrophe, featuring H.G. Wells."

The list author says:
	"Dealing with the Other - like and yet unlike leads to dislike."

	"A fable on the relationship between imperialists and subject races."

The list author says:
	"Part 2 of the Squire Quartet: an excellent bit of mainstream literary fiction."

The list author says:
	"Part 4 of the Squire Quartet: reflections on remembering, and cultural and imperialist exploitation."

The list author says:
	"Aldiss' most recent novel, set in today's atmosphere of political repression in the UK."

The list author says:
	"Short story collection from the early 70's. Aldiss is a master of the short story format - fundamental to SF as a genre."

The list author says:
	"1328 pages of hard science fiction from the 80's: Spring, Summer and Winter."

The list author says:
	"Self-indulgent literary experimentation - but all the better for that. Aldiss excels at this sort of 60's mind-trip."

The list author says:
	"The journey of a free spirit."

The list author says:
	"A definitive history of SF. Not just a creative writer, Aldiss proves he's also a penetrating literary critic and historian."

The list author says:
	"Back to H.G. Wells. And why not?"

The list author says:
	"Maybe my favourite: back to a parallel universe - Lake Geneva, 1816, and a time traveller meets Mary Shelley. Plus the Monster!"

The list author says:
	"Aldiss as editor: a cracking set of stories from the 50's and 60's. Deservedly published as a Penguin Modern Classic."
